F350 service question - fuel filter

[MrMorgan]

2004 F350 with 6.0L diesel. Do you have to bleed the fuel filter when you change it. It looks like the drop in cartridge right next to the drop in fuel filter, so I don't know how you would bleed it, but I don't want to crack it until I know.

Cheers.

Nope...... Just change the filter, and the system self bleeds....

 

[rob derkach]

There is 2 fuel filters

Yep, there's an inline filter on the frame, right under the driver door.

Is it a typical frame rail, in-line style with a couple of compression fittings? Is there a place to bleed the pressure from the fuel rail like a gas job, or is that necessary?

You guys sure save me time hunting for the answers.

No it is a canister style on the frame rail aswell as on top of motor.
There is a allan head bolt on the Frame mount, crack it open drain the fuel. Open canister swap out both filters then just cycle the key on/off 3-4 times and it sell primes.
Drive it and it bleeds the air over time.
